>The creative director said GOTY “isn’t something we really aim for [as] it should just be a consequence of making a good game, not really the goal”.Very white.
Amazing thing to say when this game feels specifically designed to be liked by retarded journos and redditors, which are the one who vote for the winner
>>724233215>t. Final Faggotroon
>>724232613>Preemptive copingVery brown behavior.
>>724233290You're coping if you think E33 won't win GOTY.
>>724232613Is that you, OP?
>>724233796Go back to your cult
>>724233905>muh cultLiterally take your meds bro, you'll get your reality check in a few months.
It's over.
realistically what other game could win it? they're not going to give it to fucking silksong that's for sure and I think GOY winning it would be too on the nose (teehee) after astroturf last year
>>724234273KCD2Blue Prince
>>724232613Naturally, he only said this after Hades 2 reviews came out; might as well go out humble.
>>724234273Why would GoY be astroturfed? GoT missed out on GOTY 2020 due to TLOU2 being astroturfed. And GoY doesn’t seem to be getting the same marketing push that GoT did from Sony.If anything, E33 is more astroturfed since absolutely no one will shut up about it and it had an insane amount of marketing for a mid budget AA title.
>>724234628>an insane amount of marketingMaybe in your schizophrenic mind.
>>724232613>pin up girl for shill threads has a disgusting dyke VADropped
>>724234628I’ve always been very sceptical about it given the teams connection to Ubisoft and how the firm said they wanted to branch out under different entities. I think it’s got black samurai money behind it 100%.
>>724234764Don't be deceived. /v/ is a Lune/Kirsty board.
>>724234906Sure thing Kash
>>724234023death stranding 2 will win at the same time they announce a PC port and you will say, "nooo it was collusion! Everything is rigged!"
>>724234273>>724234334
>>724232613>it should just be a consequence of making a good game, not really the goalThere are games made for the sole purpose of winning GOTY? I mean, I guess it's possible. "Oscar bait" is a thing after all.
>>724234628>Why would GoY be astroturfed? GOOD MORNING DEAR SIR GLORY TO SONY CALCUTTA
>>724234628I honestly didn’t get it. It looks boring, the aesthetics are really ugly (especially the monster designs) and all of the hype felt and still does feel super inorganic. There’s nothing here that catches my attention. I’ve watched playthroughs and it’s pretty generic RPG stuff, but people make it out like it’s some amazing experience.
>>724234996Death Stranding 2 is just Metal Gear Solid 4 but shit. Even the last boss fight is the same.
>>724234906nothing against her but she seems like a stuck up "holier-than-thou" feminist type from the interviews i've seen.i'd pound her tuna, but not marriage material.
>>724234682Every outlet was talking about it and interviewing the staff and VAs, e-celebs and streamers were slobbering over it at every turn, and Journos pretty much unanimously agree it’s a GOTY candidate just as much as players do. It’s not “billboard in Times Square” level marketing, but consider most mid budget games usually only get modest marketing and only attract a niche cult audience, it’s an insane amount of hype for a game of that size. GoY meanwhile is doing alright, but it’s been overshadowed in the public consciousness. It’s also not getting as much hype as GoT between the controversy surrounding the MC’s VA putting some people off it, and the game also being just a slight gameplay improvement over the original, but otherwise being the same.
>>724234273Silksong already won.
>>724234628Ghost of Tsushima got mediocre reviews due to being blatant Ubislop. It had no chance of winning.
>>724235225that's weird I didn't see an electric guitar battle in MGS4
>>724234260He's not wrong.
>>724235129“Oscar bait” games exist. Off the top of my head, a couple I can think of are:>TLOU 1 and 2>Bioshock Infinite>RDR2 to some extentBasically, any game that’s heavily story focused, but also feels “safe” by pandering to industry politics and trying way too hard to be “deep” qualifies. Bonus points if the gameplay is an after thought and just feels like a generic TPS.
>>724232613>Very white.nepobaby humblebragging about being part of the circlejerk?Sure, I guess?
>>724235691>Ghost of Tsushima got mediocre reviewsNo it didn’t. It reviewed amazingly. It was most outlets gave it 9s and 10s and it’s one of only 3 western games to actually get a perfect score in Famitsu. Players really liked it too, and a lot of people say it should have won over TLOU2.

>>72423611983 on metacritic is mediocre as fuck and way lower than the other contenders for that year.
>>724236242A 9.2 user score isn’t though. And if anything, the user scores matter more in terms of determining a game’s staying power beyond its initial hype anyway.
>>724232613Every sane dev would say something humble like that. even if they privately think otherwise.It's only that retarded Wukong chink who decided to brag about how he had a speech ready and got mad he didn't win, which furthered his humiliation. But chinks don't think like normal people.
>>724233215Ironic thing to say when it was journos and redditors who were making the push of JRPGs being “outdated” in the late 2000s
>>724236469The party line in the industry changes with time. Persona 5 made turn based JRPGs cool again in the eyes of the mainstream public. The fact that E33 has clear gameplay similarities to Persona 5 except with a way better, non-cringe story was always going to give it a leg up. E33 is a pretty standard JRPG plot about a cast of quirky characters (one of whom is a teen) going on a quest to kill a god, but the fact it’s done without the kind of modern anime cringe that a lot of JRPGs have being doing since the 2000s makes it feel like a return to form for the genre.
>>724236423User scores are only reflective of bots.
>>724236905>except with a way better, non-cringe storyIt's still cringe, it's just not anime.
Silksong was better. E33 got a bit stale gameplay-wise with parrying or jumping everything.
>>724234628Ghost of Yotei reviewed worse and sold worse. It has less word of mouth, nobody cares. If it wins, it's because of greased palms.
>>724237160It is kind of anime in places. Melodrama, flashy attacks and mid-to-late game plot twists that recontextualise everything are pretty standard for that kind of vibe. The main difference is that it doesn’t have an anime aesthetic and it doesn’t have fanservice or juvenile humour outside of giving all the characters skimpy joke costumes you can unlock.
>>724232613>making games for the sake of qualityVERY white.
>>724236467Because they're white.

>>724232613There's really never been a single other dev team that's been more oscarbaity and fixated on campaigning for an award. Even Druckmann was less desperate. These fags meanwhile go on interviews every single day and run this "oh no no we're just a humble little team, please don't praise our literary masterpiece where you do QTEs for 50 hours any more, you're too kind" shtick on every single youtube channel imaginable. The French truly are the vilest most disgusting creatures alive.
>>724236905>e33>good storyWhat's it like having gone through over 40 years of life without ever having read so much as a coloring book?
>>724232613The French don't make art for money or success. Do you know how they judge the success of a movie in France? Not with how much money it makes, but by counting how many people saw it.
>>724234273>realistically what other game could win it?It's definitely between expedition 33 and silksong and expedition 33 WILL win. There's literally no other game that can compete, hell I don't even think elden ring or baldurs gate could compete with expedition 33 very easily in all honesty. It really is the pinnacle of the artform. Forget gaming, I challenge you to name a single other film that's come out in the past 50 years that could compete. Characters better written than Tolstoy, the best gameplay maybe of all time, certainly in a turn based game. There's literally no competition. Not a single other game no sir. Just expedition 33 and silksong, and silksong is going to lose because it simply doesn't have what it takes to beat a tiny small indie game like expedition 33 built in a garage by white people.

>>724246184>not even a single mixed review between all platformsYep, Hades 2 is GOTY.
>>724232613That game sucks and it's obviously being put on the tee for them to hit the ball. Anybody that isn't a faggot actually play it? Your level of submissiveness usually dictates what you accept as quality.
>>724246402>critic reviews
>>724246547haha surely hades 2 is beating silksong in user reviews, much less literal who game e33
>>724246402>player rating 100Reviews are fake now. I don't know why you faggots waste my time. You are only convincing retards. You are an army of fucking pathetic retards and you will destroy society while we laugh and watch. Your children and their children will suffer terribly and you will pretend it's my fault. You pathetic retards lol. You can't even see what's coming cause your cowardly brains shut down as soon as it is brought up. >back to /pol/Or whatever you retarded faggots say.
>>724246547You know critics are the ones voting for almost every GOTY award around the world right?
Expedition 33 is for movie tards who couldn't stomach real JRPGs. Get the fuck out of my medium and go back to Hollywood please.
>>724246589>>724246760I'm sorry you didn't get to work on this year's GOTY, rakshit. you'll get it next year with gta 6
>>724237805>the average western game is either mass-produced soulless AAA dogshit or nongames used as a soapbox for retards to spew political garbage>Meanwhile, E33 is directly inspired by Japanese games and is a rare exception to the above>m-muh white make good gamesMan, /pol/ is fucking stupid.
>>724247217The game sucks. Bot or shill.>first off we sll agree its a good gameNo faggot. Kys.
Charlie Kirk was killed for saying this btw and then had his name slung through mud as racist to retroactively try to justify it Soon these people will be killed too
>>724235064Hades 2 belongs in ignore just like how i blacklisted the rougelike tag
>>724233905Let's be real, E33 has the higher chance of winning, I personally enjoy Silksong far far more, but E33 is the favorite of the critic, and unless they do what they did in 2018, E33 is doing to sweep the awards easily
the conversation at this point should be about how publishers are going to monkey wrench their "content" i.e. games to be more like E33. in all the most superficial and insincere ways
